Overview
AZTech began as a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Model Deployment Initiative (MDI) for the Phoenix metropolitan area in 1996. As part of the
MDI, AZTech’s mission was to provide a champion for the integration of intelligent transportation and communication systems technologies focused on the creation and expansion of regional solutions that reduce travel time, reduce travel cost, and improve the safety of the traveling public. Since completion of the MDI, AZTech has evolved into an ongoing regional operations initiative that
continues to pursue opportunities resulting in increased inter-agency collaboration between state, county, MAG, cities and towns across the greater Phoenix metropolitan region. AZTech has become
an integrating mechanism that has demonstrated the distinct advantages of a regional operations related partnership.
